Why not get a regulation-size silhouette target, blast the center mass out of it, then hang it on the side of the coop with "Egg Snatcher" written in bold print above it?

That reminds me of the old joke about the watermelon farmer that was having his melons stolen so he put up a sign that one watermelon in that patch was poisoned. The next day he came back and there was a sign that read, "now there are two".

HAHAHA i love this! Quite clever!

Hunting cameras that take infrared images at night might be a smart idea too. hang it at a weird time of day so that there is less of a chance for you to be seen. Good luck!

We've had both snakes and crows steal eggs. The crows carry off quite a few, whole. Wouldn't have known if I hadn't looked out and seen the crows. They sneak in and even post "sentries" in the trees. Our netting keeps them out, but when I let the girls out to free range I have to go out and collect eggs dilligently if I don't want to feed the crows dinner.

Come to think of it, it might be easier to stop a human, but way less creepy if it were a crow or snake. Best of luck solving the missing egg mystery. I do like the Egg Snatcher target idea!
